【Life in Lingnan + opening up farmland and farming + sweet romance + rural setting + direct, honest couple + marriage before love】
【A scholar devoted to his wife x a hardworking little wife who grows the food】
The Immortal Venerable Xie Mingzhao transmigrates into the body of the prime minister’s legitimate daughter. But when her identity as a fake daughter is exposed, she is sent back to Lingnan.
When she returns to Lingnan, she discovers that her parents died long ago and that only her two younger siblings remain. Forced to shoulder the burden of supporting her family, she uses spiritual power to grow crops and searches the mountains for precious medicinal herbs with her spiritual senses, earning her first fortune.
To find stability and avoid harassment, she sets her sights on Pei Shuyao, the cleverest scholar in the village.
He coldly refuses: “Village head, I don’t need a woman.”
She answers frankly and confidently: “I don’t need you to support me. I can farm and make money. If you marry me, you’ll have enough to eat and be able to get your health back.”
Pei Shuyao before marriage: I’ll only hold a woman back.
Pei Shuyao after marriage, holding Xie Mingzhao in his arms every night: Wife, you only care about farming. You don’t even look at me.
Extreme weather? She senses it in advance and avoids the danger.
Bandits and robbers? She persuades them to go into business and get rich with her.
Foreign invasion? She supplies food and goods to help drive the enemy back.
Xie Mingzhao opens shops and goes into business, leading the whole village in reclaiming farmland and growing crops. Their lives grow better and more prosperous with every passing day.
Nourished by Xie Mingzhao’s spiritual power, Pei Shuyao gradually regains his health. He goes to the capital to take the imperial examinations and passes at the top of the list. After earning the title of top scholar, he returns home to bring his wife to the capital.
P.S.
No fathers, mothers, or in-laws to worry about, just four little sweethearts having a hard time.
No rivalry among women and no awful characters.
Theme: Through the heroine’s work reclaiming farmland and growing crops, she leads the whole village to prosperity and embodies the self-reliance, independence, and open-hearted spirit of a strong female lead.
